<head> Heading

<head> is a generic element used to designate a title or caption for a section of text, including a list. In many cases, it is optional where at least one other element is required. Do not confuse with <thead>, which creates a table header, or <head01>, <head02>, and <head03>, which are child elements of <listhead>.

Changes from EAD 2002

<head> gained @lang and @script. It may now be used within <legalstatus> and can no longer be used within a few other elements, some deprecated. It gained child elements <abbr>, <expan>, <foreign>, and <ref>.
